The ongoing race between Apple, Motorola, RIM, and several other smartphone manufacturers over the next-gen nano-SIM card design took another turn today. According to a report by The Verge, RIM and Motorola submitted just hours ago a new design for their take on the nano-SIM card that is said to be a “compromise” between their initial design and Apple’s. If you recall, the non-Apple nano-SIM design was dramatically changed resulting in a loss of backwards...

Speaking of transfer rates, we’re hearing a stout 312MB/s is the goal. Even if we see half...
We here at Gadgetsteria may have a thing or two for bleeding edge, expensive, fast, flashy computer hardware. But we can certainly appreciate more meager silicon bits. Whether it be price or lack of any real need for earth splitting power, the custom PC market can certainly cater to whatever price point you fall in to. On that note, Colorful Technology has revealed their new single-slot Nvidia GTS 450 graphics card. The big selling point here is of course the...
As cameras grow in megapixel count, gain video recording capabilities, and life’s demands request more and more pictures, the memory cards that store said memories are pushed to their limits.
